Oberhausen Lock (Rhein-Herne Canal)

Highlight • Structure

It is always a wonderful experience to see such a large ship enter the lock. Sometimes there is so little space on the left and right that it is surprising that it fits at all.

Rhein-Herne Canal Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

Car-free across the area. On one side you have water on the other trees or shrubs. The area has always been Grüner as its reputation and in recent years, much new has come to it.

The viewing platform on the roof offers visitors a very nice all-round view of the Ruhr Metropolis. The 117 m high landmark of the city of Oberhausen was put into operation in 1929 as a disk gas holder (a waste product from the surrounding blast furnaces of the Gutehoffnungshütte, the top gas, was temporarily stored here in order to then be burned again in the rolling mills). It has been Europe's highest exhibition hall since 1994. Particularly impressive also the photo exhibitions taking place inside when we were there with the theme : THE FRAGILE PARADISE, a really worthwhile destination.

View of Gasometer Oberhausen

Highlight • Monument

The Gasometer Oberhausen is an industrial monument in Oberhausen and the highest exhibition and event hall in Europe. It belongs to the panoramas and landmarks as well as the anchor points of the Route of Industrial Heritage and is also included in the European Route of Industrial Heritage (ERIH). The gasometer is located in the New Center directly on the Rhine-Herne Canal. With a storage volume of 347,000 m³, 117 meters high and almost 68 meters in diameter, he was until 1988 Europe's largest disc gas container.

Rhein-Herne Canal bike path at Gasometer Oberhausen

Highlight • Cycleway

It's nice that you can walk or drive on both sides of the Rhine-Herne Canal. We particularly noticed on this tour that the heavy ships pushed almost silently through the canal. The usual engine noise could not be heard.👍

View of the Gasometer Oberhausen

Highlight • Viewpoint

You can see the Gasometer wonderfully when you cycle along the beautiful Rhein-Herne Canal. It's a really nice route. It is also very beautiful when the sun glitters on the Rhine-Herne Canal. The gasometer can be seen from afar.

View of the Emscher River and Waste-to-Energy Plant in Oberhausen

Highlight • Viewpoint

There is also a lot of green nature to see along the Emscher and the Rhine-Herne Canal. It's nice in a way, because it's part of the region. And the facilities and buildings are really chic, with lots of shiny stainless steel and aluminum.
